EDPA Texas Chapter

You spoke, we listened. Per your requests, here are our five 2025 Advocacy and Legislative Action priorities for the #businessevents industry. THANK YOU!…for your continued support and active involvement.

Through our fundraising efforts, support of our members and sponsors and the hard work of the Chapter EDPA Texas was able to provide Christmas wishes for 7 families. The Family Place is an organization providing shelter and services for victims of domestic violence. Their programs include sheltering, counseling, and job placement among others. Due to the circumstances these families find themselves in, we will never get to meet them. In turn they do not know who we are either. However, knowing the joy these families will have upon receiving their Christmas wishes is enough to fill our hearts. We are proud to support the efforts of The Family Place and it's programs. Happy Holidays #edpa #edpatx #thefamilyplace

Dual competition night: Wednesday December 12th - Trivia and Ugly Sweater Night is upon us. If you have played trivia with us this year, you don't want to miss the final competition of the year. If you have never played trivia with us, now is the time to start. Will we crown a new Ugly Sweater Champion or will Kari Peters maintain her status for another year! 4pm CST - via zoom - https://lnkd.in/gC6ar-5G

4 YEARS RUNNING!! So proud of our chapter and us continuing to raise the bar for ourselves. #TEXAS #edpa #chapteroftheyear EDPA Texas Chapter

Kudos to this editorial article by the Boston Globe that calls attention to making Pell Grant funds available to students enrolled in programs that are less than 600 hours or 15 weeks. Expanding federal Pell Grants to support short-term certificate programs is a pivotal step in addressing the evolving needs of our workforce. This initiative enables individuals to acquire specialized skills in high-demand trades, fostering a more adaptable and skilled labor force. By making education more accessible, we not only empower workers to pursue rewarding careers but also strengthen our economy through a diversified talent pool. This approach aligns educational opportunities with market demands, ensuring that both individuals and industries thrive in a rapidly changing landscape. Our industry would receive an incredible boost if this were to become reality.
